A19997	Tobacco tortured, or, The filthie fume of tobacco refined shewing all sorts of subiects, that the inward taking of tobacco fumes, is very pernicious vnto their bodies; too too profluuious for many of their purses; and most pestiferous to the publike state. Exemplified apparently by most fearefull effects: more especially, from their treacherous proiects about the Gun-powder Treason; from their rebellious attempts of late, about their preposterous disparking of certaine inclosures: as also, from sundry other their prodigious practices. ...

sorts of people whether they be Iewes Gentiles or the Churches of Christ. Let vs héedfully abstaine from all appearance of euill So shall the Lord God abundantly blesse vs so shall the Kings Maiestie most powerfully protect vs so shall our deare countriemen pray heartily for vs so shall not the land at any time hereafter vomit vs forth for filthie Amorites yea so shall we be sure to haue peace in our conscience with God and men Lo Sir this I assure you if the Lord God say amen to my purpose intended shall be the whole and the onely course that I will take with these kind of men Hydr. Surely Capnistus I do freely approue of this thy purposed course yea and I doubt not at all but that so many of them also as haue but one halfe dramme of Gods holy feare in their secret hearts as haue but one scruple of true honestie in their open foreheads yea as haue but one onely graine of common humanitie in their ordinarie courses will euery of them very conscionably most carefully accompt of the same As for those insatiable companions of whom thou didst speake euen now there is no hope at all to preuaile with any of them For can the blacke More change his skin or is it possible the Leopard should after his spots Then also may those men learne to do good who haue bene accustomed so long to do euill Otherwise howsoeuer they may be wise enough to do euill yet to do well they haue no wisdome within them at all But now shew me what course thou wilt take with the rest Capn. The course I intend to take with them shall be this Having first made throughly knowne to euery of thē this your present discourse I will then wish them withall for very shame to remember themselues in time to giue ouer all those their former carousing courses with spéede to forbeare now any longer to make such beastly swine of themselues by swillings in so superfluously the manifold blessings of God to abandon all their former vnnaturall dealings towards their owne wiues children towards their true hearted Tenants towards their honest poore neighbours and naturall countrie To take héede moreouer lest in pursuing such a superfluous supply to their insatiable gulling throats they do not procure a cleannesse of teeth throughout the whole kingdome lest in going about such an vnorderly augmentation of tillage they do not cause the whole earth to deceiue the dressers therof lest by this their inordinate swallowing downe of their filthy Tobacco fumes they do make their swéetest drinkes to be mingled with Myrrhe and to haue a most bitter fare-well to all the drinkes thereof lest by procuring such a néedlesse hauocke of wine ale and béere they themselues be constrained to drinke their owne water for monie lest instead of the harpe the violl the timbrell the pipe and the wine at their extraordinarie wanton feasts they be driuen to eate their owne bread with a trembling feare and to drinke their water with trouble and carefulnesse lest for their former most filthie abuse of the manifold blessings of God the Lord himselfe do shoote forth the arrowes of famine among them and breake the staffe of their bread in péeces lest for this their abundance of victuals now they be compelled to take wheate barley beanes lentils millet fitches with whatsoeuer else they can get in one vessel together to make them their bread thereof according to the number of daies wherein they must be faine to sléepe on their sides yea and to bake their said bread in the dung of men to eate it by weight and to drinke their water by measure Briefly lest they be enforced to heare a most horrible crie before and behinde them saying thus Awake you drunkards wéepe and houle you quaffers of wine because of the new wine for it shall finally be plucked away from your throats Whereas on the other side if they once soundly forsake their former most filthie waies and be heartily conuerted to God he will then so excéedingly blesse their basket and store as they shall not néede thus disorderly to run vpon any such desperate and dangerous attempts for the augmentation of tillage Because whensoeuer they do conscionably sow that selfe same portion of tillage which they haue at this present in their owne proper vse the Lord God of hoasts will euen then giue such a bountiful blessing vnto it as they shall be sure to find in one yeare an hundred fold more by due estimation For the Lord he will giue them the early and the latter raine and render them the yeares that the grashopper had eaten before Yea their very barnes shall be filled with wheate and their winepresses abound with wine and with oile And herein no maruell at all because the Lord in the day of this their holy conuersion will heare yea the Lord God of hosts will heare the heauens and the heauens they will heare the earth and the earth it will heare the corne wine and oile and the corne wine and oile will heare the people and the people shall sée the vallies stand so thicke with corne that they shall laugh and sing and say one to another Behold how the earth doth yéeld her increase and God euen our owne God hath giuen vs his blessing Lo Sir this is all the whole course I will take with that sort of men Hydr. This course I confesse is very conuenient were they men capable of it But alas Capnistus the wisedome of the word is a matter ouer loftie for such fantasticall fooles as do so insatiably affect their owne inordinate lusts they may by no possible meanes attaine to the height thereof Not because the words of wisedome are idlely bestowed among any the sonnes of mortall men for the feare of the Lord is the very beginning of wisdome but for that all such vnregenerate fooles do most disdainfully despite true wisdome it selfe and all holy instruction Neither yet hath the authenticall sound of such sacred knowledge bene hitherto held backe from any of them For behold Wisdome her selfe hath cried without she hath vttered her voyce in the open streets she hath called to them all in the publike assemblies yea euen in the very preasse of the people themselues as also in the middest of the Citie hath shee solemnely vttered her words saying thus Oh you foolish how long will you affect your owne foolishnesse and you scornfull take such pleasure in scorning Oh turne you at my correction for loe I will now euen powre out my mind vnto you at large and make you vnderstand my words to the full What I pray thee might Wisdome do more to the sonnes of men then shee hath hitherto done vnto euery of them But what behold how obstinately they do despise all her counsels and most
